This is a pdf copy of a short paper I wrote while living in Mogadishu, with the assistance of Ibrahim Awad, Abdidahir Ali Hirsi, Axmed Ismacil Jamac, and Axmed Liban Axmed. It was on the web for a long time, then disappeared. So here it is again: AN INTRODUCTION TO SHAX: A SOMALI GAME

Soldiers had to put their unit details to get the free postage — in this case it was the Commando Divisione Fanteria “Puglie” ( 38 ). There is an army post office postmark of January 1941. These army postmarks deliberately didn’t disclose their location so unless we can discover where field post office N12 was we cannot pin down where it originated. Research needed !”
